After reading the article Doing Family Therapy as a New Social Worker: The
Do's and Dont's, my thoughts on how I would apply this information as a
Social Worker is I would implement an assessment on each family member
and do a family assessment. This would allow me to understand the family
identity and to see if there are any differences in opinions on how the family
themselves see each other. This will help me with a treatment plan and
setting goals. After reading this article it also reminds me to not be
judgemental and to use the information they are giving me to help them
understand what they are doing is not working and that setting goals
together is a way to help them reach their goals. Paying close attention to
the cultural influences I am learning is a big part of Social Work that I have
not given a lot of thought about. This requires me to do more research and to
make sure I am serving my families in the correct way with knowledge about
their culture to be able to help them appropriately.
Benefits that I see in working with families is it gives you more information
and views on what is happening with your client. It also allows your clients to
see how much support they have from their family members. It opens up
great opportunities for communication needs within a family and encourages
problem-solving strategies. Interventions can help your client and help other
family members be able to help the client outside of your sessions.
Challenges that I see working with families are interparental conflict,
parenting abilities, and lack of effort to maintain the goal at hand for a
certain individual in the family. These could include things like divorced
parents, or cultural differences.
